    • NG

    Correct Answer
    A. Before and before you begin
    Explanation
    The adverb clause "before you begin" modifies the verb "count" and indicates the time at which the action should be done. The subordinate conjunction "before" introduces the adverb clause and shows the relationship between the main clause and the adverb clause.

  • 3. 

    Fill in the word that best fits the blank below. 4. I haven't spoken to you_______ she moved.

    Correct Answer
    since
    Explanation
    The word "since" is used to indicate the period from a specific event in the past to the present moment. In the sentence, "I haven't spoken to you since she moved," "since" specifies that the last time the speaker communicated with the listener was before the event of "she moved." It effectively connects the past action with the current state, showing that no communication has occurred during this time span.

    Correct Answer
    A. Conjunctive clause 
    Explanation
    The main types of clauses are independent clauses (can stand alone as sentences) and dependent clauses (cannot stand alone). Dependent clauses include relative clauses (introduced by relative pronouns like "who" or "which") and adverbial clauses (modifying verbs). There is no distinct category called "conjunctive clause."

    • I went to the store; I needed some milk. 

    • I went to the store, but I forgot to buy milk.

    Correct Answer
    A. I went to the store because I needed some milk. 
    Explanation
    A complex sentence contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Sentence (b) has an independent clause ("I went to the store") and a dependent clause ("because I needed some milk"). The other sentences are either compound sentences (two independent clauses joined by a conjunction) or simple sentences (one independent clause).
